Calnexin (Cnx) is an endoplasmic reticulum membrane–bound lectin chaperone that comprises a dedicated maturation system with another lectin chaperone calreticulin (Crt). This maturation system is known as the Cnx/Crt cycle. The main functions of Cnx are Ca2+ storage, glycoprotein folding, and quality control of synthesis. Recent studies have shown that Cnx is important in phagocytosis and in optimizing dendritic cell immunity. However, the functions of Cnx in invertebrate innate immunity remain unclear. In this research, we characterized Cnx in the kuruma shrimp Marsupenaeus japonicus (designated as MjCnx) and detected its function in shrimp immunity. The expression of MjCnx was upregulated in several tissues challenged with Vibrio anguillarum. Recombinant MjCnx could bind to bacteria by binding polysaccharides. MjCnx protein existed in the cytoplasm and on the membrane of hemocytes and was upregulated by bacterial challenge. The recombinant MjCnx enhanced the clearance of V. anguillarum in vivo, and the clearance effects were impaired after silencing MjCnx with RNA interference assay. Recombinant MjCnx promoted phagocytosis efficiency of hemocytes. These results suggest that MjCnx functions as one of the pattern recognition receptors and has crucial functions in shrimp antibacterial immunity. 相似文献

Recently, it was shown that glycoproteins with N-glycans close to the NH2 terminus can directly enter the calnexin/calreticulin cycle and bypass BiP binding. This should allow efficient secretion
of glycoproteins such as factor VIII (FVIII) whose secretion is negatively affected by BiP interaction. Examination of the
glycosylation pattern of the NH2 terminus of FV and FVIII revealed N-glycans at positions 23 and 27 in FV and at position 41 in FVIII. To improve FVIII secretion, a 14-amino-acid-long polypeptide
with (G3) or without (G0; control) three N-linked glycosylation consensus sites was inserted upstream of the NH2 terminus of a B-domain deleted FVIII protein. Expression of G3- and G0-constructs in three different cell lines resulted
in the same or even higher expression rate of protein as found for the B-domain deleted FVIII. However, as demonstrated by
Western blot analysis, the G3- as well as the G0-protein variants were mainly retained inside the cells in similar amounts.
Thus, glycosylation alone does not automatically lead to higher secretion rates, but must be in context to the normal structure
of the FVIII protein.

Preimplantation mouse embryos express both classical (class Ia) and nonclassical (class Ib) MHC class I proteins, and yet are not rejected by the maternal immune system. Although the function of the embryonic MHC class Ia proteins is unknown, one MHC class Ib protein, Qa-2, the product of the preimplantation embryo development (Ped) gene, actually enhances reproductive success. Similar in structure to MHC class Ia proteins, Qa-2 protein is a trimer of the alpha (heavy) chain, β2 microglobulin and a bound peptide. Studies on the folding, assembly and trafficking of MHC class Ia molecules to the cell surface have revealed this process to be dependent on multiple protein chaperone molecules, but information on the role of chaperone molecules in Qa-2 expression is incomplete. Here, we report the detection of mRNA for four chaperone molecules (TAP1, TAP2, calnexin and tapasin) in preimplantation embryos. We then focused on the role of the MHC-dedicated chaperone, tapasin, on Qa-2 protein expression. First, we demonstrated that tapasin protein is expressed by preimplantation embryos. Then, we used tapasin knockout mice to evaluate the role of tapasin in Qa-2 protein expression on both T cells and preimplantation embryos. We report here that optimal cell surface expression of Qa-2 is dependent on tapasin in both T cells and preimplantation embryos. Identification of the molecules involved in regulation of MHC class I protein expression in early embryos is an important first step in gaining insight into mechanisms of escape of embryos from destruction by the maternal immune system. 相似文献

We investigated the requirement for calnexin in the biogenesis of MHC class I molecules. Mutant human cells lacking calnexin were infected with recombinant vaccinia viruses encoding mouse MHC class I molecules, K d , Kb , Kk , D d , Db , and Ld . Flow cytometry indicated that each of the six MHC class I allomorphs was transported to the cell surface at similar rates in calnexin-deficient cells and transfectants expressing calnexin. For Kb and K d , the calnexin-independent biogenesis occurred regardless of whether the MHC class I molecules contained human or mouse β2-microglobulin. Also addressed was the effect of calnexin on the surface expression of Kb molecules bearing the immunodominant peptide from ovalbumin (OVA257 – 264 ). This was detected with a recently described monoclonal antibody specific for the Kb/peptide complex. Calnexin expression had no significant effect on the formation of Kb /peptide complexes generated from full-length OVA, cytosolic OVA257 – 264 , or endoplasmic reticulum-targeted OVA257 – 264 , which was expressed in the presence of the herpes simplex virus ICP47 protein to ensure detection of TAP-independent peptide-MHC class I complexes. Complementary results were obtained with TAP-independent formation of K d /peptide complexes. These findings indicate that calnexin is not required for the efficient assembly of MHC class I molecules with TAP-dependent or independent peptides. 相似文献
